• Heat a wok, large skillet, frying pan, or Dutch oven to medium-high heat with enough cooking oil to fry the shrimp. The oil should reach 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) when ready to fry your battered shrimp.
• Coat your peeled and deveined shrimp into the batter using a heat-safe slotted spoon or fork. Let the excess batter drip off of the shrimp before placing them into your heated oil.
• Fry the battered shrimp for 4-5 minutes, or until a light golden brown. Remove the cooked shrimp from your cooking oil and transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain off excess oil. Cook the shrimp in batches, if needed, until all of your shrimp are done.

SWEET AND SOUR CHICKEN

Steps:

• Set aside ½ cup of pineapple juice from your can of pineapple, and reserve ⅔ cup of the pineapple chunks (if using). Set aside.
• Combine the hot water, salt, sugar, and ketchup. Stir until the salt and sugar are dissolved, and then add the vinegar and pineapple juice (if using). If not using pineapple juice, replace with ½ cup water or chicken stock. Set aside.
• Cut your chicken into uniform 1 inch chunks (for even cooking) and place into a bowl. Add the garlic and onion powders, sesame oil, white pepper and salt. Mix until all pieces are uniformly coated, and let it sit for 5 minutes. Any excess water should be fully absorbed by the chicken. If not, mix the chicken again and let it sit for another 5 minutes.
• Mix together the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, and baking soda in a bowl, and add 2/3 cup of ice water. Use a fork to mix until a batter is formed, and stir in 1 tablespoon of oil. Set aside.
• The amount of oil you need depends on the size of the pot you will use. Using a larger pot uses more oil, but allows you to cook the chicken in fewer batches. Using a smaller pot uses less oil, but you'll have to fry more batches of chicken. We usually go for a smaller pot, so we have less leftover oil. Heat the oil in a small pot until it reaches 335°F/170°C.
• Place 5 to 6 pieces of marinated chicken into the batter. Use a chopstick, fork, or your fingers to coat the chicken in the batter and place each piece slowly into the oil.
• Use a slotted spoon to carefully turn the chicken so all sides are uniformly fried. Fry for about 2 minutes, or until the batter is a light golden brown and crispy. Remove with a slotted spoon and let any excess oil drain off before placing onto a rack or paper towel lined plate.
• Heat 1 tablespoon canola oil in a wok over medium high heat, and add the red onion and peppers. Stir-fry for 30 seconds.
• Next, add the sweet and sour sauce you prepared earlier and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat so the sauce is simmering.
• Combine the cornstarch and water to make a uniform slurry. While stirring the sweet and sour sauce, drizzle the slurry in gradually until the sauce is thick enough to coat a spoon (you may not need all of the slurry). Turn down the heat and give the sauce a quick taste--now is the time to add more salt, vinegar or sugar if desired.
• Add the pineapple chunks (if using) and stir until warmed through. Now is the time to refry the chicken to make them nice and crispy. Heat the oil up to 335°F/170°C and fry the chicken in two batches for about 45 seconds each time. Then add the chicken pieces to your sauce, and gently toss with your wok spatula until the chicken is coated. Serve immediately!

SWEET AND SOUR CHICKEN BALLS

Steps:

• Heat the oil in the pan on medium-high heat.
• Prepare the chicken. Cut 8 two-inch strips (or more if you prefer). Season the meat with about 1/2 tsp salt and sprinkle of white pepper. Then using 1 tbsp of the self-raising flour coat the chicken strips with the flour.
• Prepare the batter. Add the self-raising flour and the salt together. Mix 100g of cold water into the flour. Let the mixture rest for 5-10 minutes as it will rise a little and become a smoother batter. Add 1/2 teaspoon of vegetable oil into the mix to make it shiny.
• To make the sweet and sour sauce: In a saucepan pour the vinegar and add the granulated sugar in, heat these up on a low heat until the sugar dissolves.
• Add the ketchup, tomato puree and Worcester sauce and mix. Put this to one side as the sauce is now complete and ready.
• Now bring your chicken and your batter to your stove where your oil is heated up. Turn it down to low heat. One chicken strip at a time, place a chicken strip into the batter and coat it. Then put it in to the oil. Repeat this step for the other strips.
• Fry the balls for about 4 minutes until the batter is golden. If the balls are not floating after 4 minutes, leave it for an extra 1-2 minutes. Tip: If you find your batter browning too fast then add more oil to cool it down. Tip: when the balls float it generally means that the chicken is cooked. Use a slotted spoon to take the balls out.

EASY THAI SWEET & SOUR SHRIMP

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• Pour one can of pineapple chunks (with juice) into a medium-size pot.
• Drain the juice from the other can into the pot, squeezing out all the juice from the fruit (you can save it for eating or other dishes).
• Add the vinegar, sugar, fish sauce, cayenne, lemon or lime juice, and ketchup.
• Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium or until you get a nice strong simmer. Simmer 12 to 15 minutes, uncovered, or until sauce reduces by one-third. Remove from heat and set aside.
• Place a large frying pan or wok over medium-high heat. Drizzle in the oil and add garlic and onion. Stir-fry 30 seconds, then add the vegetables. Stir-fry 2 to 3 minutes, adding 1 to 2 tbsp. of the sweet & sour sauce as you fry, just enough to keep ingredients sizzling.
• Add the shrimp plus soy sauce and continue stir-frying until shrimp turn pink on the outside (1 minute).
• Add remaining sauce. Stir and bring to a gentle simmer for 1 minute, then reduce heat to medium-low.
• In a cup, stir cornstarch into​ the water with a fork until dissolved. Add this to the stir-fry, stirring slowly. When your stir-fry has thickened enough for your liking (about 1 minute), remove from heat.
• Do a taste-test, looking for a balance of sweet and sour, plus a hint of spicy and salty flavors. If too sour, add more sugar; if too sweet or too salty, add more lemon/lime juice. More cayenne can be added for more spice. If you'd like a deeper color, add a few drops red food coloring (optional). Top with toasted sesame seeds, if desired, then serve with Thai rice and enjoy!
